About a month ago one of our hospitals' network was hacked by that Russian something-or-other. I'm here to say I'm mostly off the grid for news so I have no idea what it was about except I know they're still off-line because I'm in that network. Anyway, as
they wade through trying to remember how they used to do things, and my poem theme for today is adaptations — which hasn't inspired me at almost 2:00 Central time — as I was fishing leaves from the last dregs of yuck in the process of getting the pool down
in our race against winter, I was stewing on sisters who send images in their messages and bam!
<div>I'm no story writer but plots always come to me. What if the world wakes up one morning and discovers nothing is accessible any more except via alternative technologies? Of course they can still drive and do all the basic things one could do before computer
technology highjacked the world. And, of course, there's the fear of letting the deaf and blind and others help out but they prevail by being normal while the rest are portrayed as being the semi-psychotic on their way to human. Except a few who really are
"normal". </div>
